{"product_id":"9781487512941","title":"The Fragility of Consciousness: Faith, Reason, and the Human Good","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrederick G. Lawrence is the authoritative interpreter of the work of Bernard Lonergan and an incisive reader of twentieth-century continental philosophy and hermeneutics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Fragility of Consciousness\u003c\/i\u003e is the first published collection of his essays and contains several of his best known writings as well as unpublished work. The essays in this volume exhibit a long interdisciplinary engagement with the relationship between faith and reason in the context of the crisis of culture that has marked twentieth- and twenty-first century thought and practice. Frederick G. Lawrence, with his profound and generous commitment to the intellectual life of the church, has produced a body of work that engages with Heidegger, Gadamer, Habermas, Ricoeur, Strauss, Voegelin, and Benedict XVI among others. These essays also explore various themes such as the role of religion in a secular age, political theology, economics, neo-Thomism, Christology, and much more. In an age marked by social, cultural, political, and ecclesial fragmentation, Lawrence models a more generous way – one that prioritizes friendship, conversation, and understanding above all else.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131770618096,"sku":"9781487512941","price":97.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781487512941_p0.jpg?v=1763635769","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781487512941","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
